What is COHR?

COHR promotes networking and dialogue with individuals that represent all sides of our healthcare system. We will redesign healthcare working with patients, doctors, nurses, employers, insurance agents – anyone at the grass roots level. COHR dialogues across perspectives to articulate ideas from the individuals that live and work within the system. Healthcare is a political issue – we can’t avoid it. So while we can’t avoid politics, COHR is committed to solutions, not scoring political points.

We Need YOU!

COHR is new – July 2011. Now we need your help to build a powerful network of Collaborators and Members. We are assembling our national advisory board – email Dave Racer if you wish to be a candidate. But for sure, consider being a Collaborator to help Dave write the next great book to redesign the U.S. healthcare and health insurance systems: working title – 1001 Ways to Redesign U.S. Healthcare (and stay clear of bureaucrats). Join us today.
